The strobe effect on that video makes the flywheels seem to go at the wrong speed and even reverse at times! Wierd

They said Late on Sunday Afternoon, so I guess everyone was trying to get out of the show, or had left already. I was nearly home I guess. :-)

Nice one Chris, didn't know you where about. Should have come to the steam yachts to say hello. We actually took Carry On around the play pen at around 7:30pm on Sunday evening before finally sitting down to dinner, it was even quieter then. Bet no one got a picture or video of that.

Is it just me or were there fewer big loads going to the top of the playpen this year? There seemed to be a lot doing laps of the lower half.
